The Montgomery Mail of Saturday, says Colton went a ballooning yesterday and day before, prices ranging generally from IIJ to 11}. Twelve Ims been offered and refused for some lots. it is n clear case, in our mind, says the Mail, that cotton is going into the teens. When there—like ilie girls in the same category —it becomes highly interesting. To-day, we quote 11A to I2\c. —principal sales at lljjo. ♦ . , .... Mutiny. The Mobile Tribune, of the 2d inst., says the crew of the ship South Carolina were brought up before tho United States Commis sioner, R. 11.

He leaves a wife eighty years of age, to whom lie had been married *ixty years. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren remain behind to mourn his loss. Abolishing the Negro Hare. Mr. Spinner, a black republican candidate for Congress in New York, says in a published letter. “ 1 am in favor of abolishing the negro race. He does not (says the New Hampshire l’atiiot; explain the process by which he would accomplish this object, but he would probably do it by the Banks plan of “absorp tion.” The Slave Trade In Cuba. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier writing from Havana on the 23d tilt., says: I learn that last week the brig P. Koule, formerly a trader between New Orleans and this port,, landed a cargo of about six hun dred negroes near Cienfugos, and that she was then run ashore. It was also stated that it was the third cargo of negroes she had landed from the coast of Africa. Texas Items. Ur. Branch T. Archer, the Father of the Texas Revolution, died at the residence of Airs. Wm. H. Wharton, in Brazoria county, on the 22d ult. Dr. Archer came from Virginia to Texas in 1.5)31, and from his fine intelligence and social qualities, very soon became a popular man. ffe had served in the Virginia Legislature, The Columbia Democrat of the 2;sd ultimo, says: it is hard to say whether there will be any sugar made nt all or not. Sometimes some of thjc planters are sanguine of making a little, at others they are fearful they will not make seed The amount made, if any, will be ex ceedly small, next to nothing. The cotton crop will be better than last year, although we understand the worm has made its appear ance in some parts of the country. The ludinnola Bulletin, of the 26th ult. says, that tho schooner K 1 Rosario, which had been touml at sea, and brought into that port, had been totally wrecked by the equinoctial storm, on the 26th ult. No other damage was occa sioned by the gale. The Gonzales Enquirer denies that the Gor man citizens of DeWitt county had held a meeting to form a Fremont club. The rumor had originated from some sentiments promul gated by a preacher, which were tinctured with abolitionism. - - Etmon of tiik Sun : In answer to the en quiries of numerous friends in relation to the office of Mayor, which no doubt lias been caused by the announcement of a gentleman’s name as a candidate for that office.

F. U. WILKINS. Subscription Completed. Several months ago Senator Douglas gave leu acres of laud iu the vioiuity of Chicago, for the founding of a University, provided $106.00(1 were raised forthe erectiou of bttlld iugs. This mouey, we learn from the Chica go Journal, has been subscribed by tiie friends of the enterprise. ♦ Preparing for NVar. The Norfolk Argus states that Gov. Wise has issued, through the Adjutant General, orders to the commandants throgliout the State to thoroughly organizo the militia, that it may be qualified “To render effective service when ever Virginia may call for it.” Is there any probability of war? Rntlvond Meeting. Savannah, Oct. I. 1856. The several committees appointed by the Thomnsvillc Convention of the 4th ulr.. to gether with the committee from the county of Decatur, invited by said convention, met in .Savannah on this inst. at 12 o'clock M., and. on motion of Dr. .1. I*. Screven, organized by tlie appointment of the lion, .fumes L. Seward of the county of Thomas, to till the chair, Willis AT. Russell, of the county of Decatur, to act as Secretary. The Hon. I*. K. Love being requested, read so much of the proceedings of the Thomas ville Convention as referred to llie object ol’ the present meeting. The several delegations were then called, and the following were reported present: From the county of Thomas: James L. Se ward, Peter K. Love, A. T. .Mclntyre, From the county of Lowndes: S. W. Baker, M. J. Culpepper, and M. S. Griffin.^From the city of Savannah: J. I\ Screven, Win. Duncan, Hiram Roberts. From tlie county of Deca tur: Willis M. Russell, J. P. Screven, Wm. Duncan (who were appointed as substitutes by the committee.) Col. Seward, of Thomas, urged, in a few forcible and pointed remarks, tlie necessity of a speedy organization of the .Main Trunk Company, that conflicting opinions might be harmonized, ami confidence and concert of action secured. Col. Seward’s views were sustained by Col. A. T. .Mclntyre, who pre sented some conclusive arguments why delay in organizing the company should be avoided. Wm. M. Russell, of Decatur, stated that lie was authorized to say that fifty-otic thousand dollars had been subscribed by the citizens of his county, and that if a sufficiency of lime be allowed, the promised sum of two hundred thousand dollars would be raised by them. Hon. P. E. Love, of Thomas, offered the following preamble and resolutions which were read and unanimously adopted: Whereas, an additional subscription of two hundred thousand dollars is necessary to the organization of the Atlantic and Gulf Bail road Company, which it was expected would be raised prior to this meeting, by t lie citizens of Decatur county, and having learned through her Delegates, that they have not been able to raise this amount ; and, where as, an early organization of said Company is important and indispensable to the harmony of conflicting; which have hereto fore hindered said organization—be it Resolved, That relying upon the good faith of the people of Decatur, we expect them to raise said sum before t lie 22d inst. Resolved, That in the event that Decatur county fails to make the aforesaid subscrip tion, we pledge ourselves to use our best ef forts to raise the deficiency. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer with Messrs. Arnett, Mannerly and Sims, in regard to their success, from time to time, in raising said subscriptions. The Chairman being appointed by the meet - ing us one of the committee of correspondence, be then appointed, as the others, Dr. J. P. Screven, of Savannah, and S. W. Baker, Esq., of Lowndes county.

On motion, it was resolved that the proceed ings of the meeting be published in all the city papers ; after which the meeting adjourn ed sine die. JAMES L. SEWAIII). Chairman. Willis M. Russell, Secretary. F.hgUmt, France anil Prussia —Their Political Relations. The independance Beige contains a letter from Paris, under dato of the 10th of Sept., from which we extract the following: It has been said, that the good understand ing between England and France has suffered somewhat recently. Though it will be well not to attach too much importance to it, it is, nevertheless, of interest, to enumerate the points on which England and France have found themselves divided or jealous of each other in policy. As such may be adduced the marked preference which was shown to Count de Morny in Russia, though the Aloni teur carfully avoided to render this visible iu its reports. Next, it is not thought very proper on the other (the English) side of the Channel that the grand cross of the Legion of Honor should have been conferred on General O’Donnell. The engagement between the Prussian corvette, the Dantzik, and the Ilift’ pirates off’ Morocco, has further (though the announcement of a projected expedition was premature) led to a certain understanding be tween Prussia and England without tho French government having been consulted in the mat ter, which may have induced tho French gov ernment to give up the idea of an armed in tervention in Morocco, which for a moment it seems to have entertained. Lastly, there is the question of the future arrangements with re gard to the Panubian principalities. Here England, if repeated communications from Vienna are to be relied upon, has allied her self with Austria and Turkey, iu opposing the plan of the severance of the two States from tho Turkish Empire, and their fusion into one great Roman State; an arrangement which France, Prussia, and Russia are known to ap prove. ♦ Kngltsli Girls. The English girl spends more than one-half her waking hours in physical amusements, which tend to develop, nud invigorate, and ripen the bodily powers. She rides, walks, drives, rows upon the water, runs, dances, plays, sings, jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttlecock—and all this without having it pressed forever upon her mind that she is thereby wasting her time. She does this every day, until it becomes a habit which site will follow up through life. Her frame, as a na tural consequence, is larger, her muscular system better developed, her nervous system in a better subordination, her strength more enduring, ami the whole tone of her mind healthier. ■ ♦ Southern ltank of Georgia. This Institution, chartered by our last Le gislature, goes into operation under favorable circumstances by the payment into the Bank, by the Stockholders, of fifty thousand dollars iu gold coin as required by the provisions of the Charter, which will be seen from the cer tificate of Judge Law. Ordinary for this county, who is required by law to count the money. The officers of the Bank are N. L. Cloud, Esq., Cashier, with a Board of five Directors, who are safe, reliable men, and of good busi ness capacity. An institution of this kind has been much needed in Southern Georgia, and under its present munagemant will doubtless lie profita ble to the Stockholders as well as safe and ad vantageous to the community. —Uuuxbridgt Argilt. Montgomery County, Texas. .Wo copy the following description of the soil and productions of Montgomery county, Texas, from an editorial correspondence in the Houston Telegraph : MoNTt.’oMKHY, Sept. 23d, 1800. Montgomery county was laid off’ by tiie first Congress of the Republic, in 1886--’37, and at that date was the only county besides Robert son, North of Harris—most of the territory from the Gulf to Red River, between the Bra zos and Trinity being comprehended within the limits of Harris’ Montgomery and Robert son. Tiie present counties of Grimes, Walker ami Madison, and a portion of Folk, west of the Trinity, were part of Montgomery proper, until 1840. The present area of Montgomery is very little over the constitutional limits, 1)00 square miles. There is very little prairie iu the county, but that is generally of the best quality of black, stiff land, intermixed with sand, very productive, and easily kept in cul tivation. A bale of cotton to the acre is claimed as frequently realized on these lauds, though the average product is less. Thirty five bushels of corn is a common yield with good cultivation. The prairie region runs mainly through the centre of the county, from East to West, and is occasionally bordered with a heavy growth of oak and hickory laud of a very superior quality. Nearly all of the country between the black prairies and Spring Creek, the Southern boundary, is poor and covered with a growth of small pities. On the creeks, however, and especially Spring and Walnut, the timber is larger and the lands proportionality better. There is also an ex tensive pine country on the San Jacinto and it- tributaries; some of the timber is very tine, and already becoming valuable for saw ing purposes. The country about Danville sustains a heavy settlement, and is considered first rate upland. Wliatjjis extensively known as Big Thicket, lies on the Eastern border of the county, between the forks of the San Ja cinto. A great deal of this land is high, san dy and very productive, covered with a dense growth of large timber—l’ost Oak, White- Oak, Black Walnut, Hickory, Ash, and in some places .Magnolia and Wild Feacli. There are also extensive cane-brakes similar to those on tho Totnbigbee, in Alabama. These lands are generally held iu very high esteem, and are selling readily, unimproved, at So to $lO per acre. Very extensive settlements have been made in the Big Thicket within the last five years. The best uplands of Alontgomcry arc generally held at $4 to $lO. Pino lands can he bought at from $1 to sl. The town of Montgomery', the county scat, is a handsome and thrifty place, containing about 300 inhabitants. It lias a good Court House, several church edifices, an Academy, and a good many pleasant private residences. The Hoop Skirts. But the skirts! Oh, Venus de Aledicis! how can we embrace them all? Positively there is no getting around them in one effort! Skirts have swollen to that extent of fashion that no door is wide enough for them to pass through, without considerable squeezing. Real belles of the fashion now seem like moving bells, literally so that mullets and men have to steer Well in the streets, else they will run against ropes, hoops, bag matting, crinoline and the deuce knows what, which completely take up the sidewalk and inhabit the dress. As for the girl, by Jove, >he seems no where ! The other day- we happened to sec two of the dumpy kind of the moving “bells” of fashion going along the street, ala pointer style— —hands close and skirts out. At forty paces distant they seemed like miniature pyramids of silk, at twenty, we smelt cologne water and other essences ; at ten paces, a little lump like a bonnet was discenmble at the top of the skirt pyramid; at three paces distant we heard the imbedded voice of a female in the dress ; at two paces, we discovered four ring lets of slim appearance, resembling cat tails dipped in molasses ; two eyes of weak and ab surd expression, like boiled onions, lips like unto thin sail Iwielies with a bit of discolored meat sticking out, thin ai:d dry, and cheeks rouged with meeiifnm (Chinese coloring.) Pos itively this is all that could create in us the impression or imagination that the above things, dry goods, &c., formed a woman. We moved aside and went on our way’ rejoicing that such was not our share, to say nothing of our future “ better half.” ■ 4. Death, in the last few weeks, lias been busi ly at work in North Alabama, and has taken to himself some of our noblest citizens. Not many days ago, we were called to mourn at the graves of Judge Weakley, of Florence, Alabama, and Col. Robert Fearn of this place, who were stricken down in the midst of rs ca reer of usefulness: and now we are called to shed a tear over the bier of Cupt. Nich. Da vis, who died full of years and honors, at his residence in Limestone county, ou the night of the 129th ult. lie was one of the oldest and most respected citizens of North Ala bama, and was well known throughout the Southern country.— Huntsville Democrat. Newton sinned away his early advantages, and became an abandoned profligate ; but the texts and hymns his mother had fixed in his mind in his infancy and childhood, were never effaced, and finally fastened him to the cross. Cecil tells us that in the days of his vanity, though lie withstood so many pious endeavors, lie novel* could resist his mother's tears. Wil sou, late Bishop of Calcutta, in his narrative of intercourse with Dillingham, tho assassin, says lie could make him feel nothing till he mentioned his mother, and then he broke into a flood of tears. “In the morning sow the seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand.” —•*— • The Wine Crop In Missouri, The vintage in Alissouri, which commenced a week or two ago, will terminate in a lew days. According to the German Volksblatt of Hermann, the quality of this year’s yield of wine bids fair to be excellent, ss the grapes have attained a uniform ripeness and perfec tion hitherto unequalled. The fruit nowhere exhibits any symptoms of decay. We regret to add, however, says the Volksblatt, that in point of quantity the crop does not realize our expectations. The tteyerp cold of last winter injured the vines to a greater extent than was at first supposed. It is not, there fore, probable that the prices of the Catawba wine will recede this season. The prospects for the next year arc highly favorable. The vines present a healthier and more vigorous appearance this fall titan ever before, and unless the coming winter should prove ns severe as last, Hermann and its vi cinity will next season produce at Jeast thirty thousand gallons of wine. An ardent admirer of the News (says tiie Irish News) begs us to bring out our paper earlier than we do. “Indeed,” says he, “if you could manage to have it uut leu days be fore it’s dated, the circulation would be won derful.” We shall seriously consider the sug gestion of our friend, and try to make ar rangements with Messrs. Gimard & Collins for th • premature production of European event,’. TKLEaRAPHIO. I -- From Charleston. I‘ll AELKSTON. Oct. 4.

The rise ill Red River is an event of such magnitude, that we cannot refrain from pre senting all the testimony on the subject that comes to us. We clip the following from the Washington Democrat, of the 16th instant: “Red River continues to rise, and now lacks but eight or ten feet of being even with the banks at Fulton. The Clarksville stagedriver reports considerable backwater in the Cosse tot and Little ljivof, and Red llivcr, above, is overflowing in the low places.” Hail Storm. On the 20th September a violent hail storm passed over Mcckicubcrg county, Vu. The Tobacco Platit says: “ Entire fields of tobacco are in utter ruins, only enough being left to show tho extent of the injury. The calamity is really a most se rious one under existing circumstances. The corn crops of this entire county are such com plete failures that the farmers have relied upon Hie proceeds of their tobacco crop to buy them bread. This resource being swept away from them, they arc left ip a very un pleasant situation. Much of the tobacco de stroyed was very promising.” The New llaven Register says : “The ras cal who is now in jail for robbing Rev. Air.

Successful Application of Electricity in tHe cure of Disease. Dr. Robert Remak, of the University of Berlin, Prussia,"known to the medical protec tion of both hemispheres as a eminent physi ologist, and noted for his valuable discoveries in the sphere of miscroscopical observations, has lately invented and successfully applied, a newmetlied of introducing constant galvan ic currents into the nerves and muscles of pa tients, whereby cases of palsy of every kind, apoplexy, atrophy of the muscles and of the spinal marrow—some of them ten to twenty years standing—have been, it is said, entire ly cured within a few minutes. Within a pe riod of six weeks, out of four hundred pa tients that had lost the use of their limbs and muscles, upwards of two hundred have been entirely restored to health, whilst the re mainder were rapidly improving under the treatment. A printed synopsis of this scien tific discovery and its results, transmitted by the author, will appear in the next January number of the Medical Journal, published in tliis city.
